More about me: I'm formally trained in social psychology with a research interest in behavioral neuroendocrinology in topics ranging from human social phenomenon, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. I've taught many psychology courses at major universities (since 2002), and have a background in biobehavioral research as well as training in behavioral genetics. My other research areas and interests are marketing and management (applied social psychology), attitudes and behavior change, hierarchical linear modeling (and quadratic modeling), mating strategies, intimate relationships, health psychology, group dynamics, message framing, and social dominance behaviors.
